Abstract: An hydraulic valve of the flow-controlled type and including a valve housing provided with inlet and outlet means and a valve body which is intended to coact with a valve seat in a manner to open and interrupt the connection between the inlet and outlet means in dependence on a continuously controllable pilot flow in a pilot-flow channel extending from a pilot-flow chamber located on the side of the valve body remote from the valve seat to the outlet in the flow direction after the valve body. The pilot-flow chamber, in turn, communicates with the inlet via a variable constriction. For the purpose of simplifying this type of valve and rendering the valve more compact, the valve body (9) is arranged in a recess (25) which extends to the valve seat (26) and which is formed concentrically with the valve seat. The recess (25) is formed in a seat-part (8) which incorporates one or more slots (34) which are open towards the recess (25) and which discharge into the pilot-flow chamber (27). The seat-part also includes at least one inlet port (19) which communicates with the inlet (2) and which also communicates with the slot or slots (34), such as to form the variable constriction, thereby providing a facility in which the valve body (9) can be moved continuously between its valve-open and valve-closed positions in a controllable manner.

Abstract: A digital screener for digitally converting a continuous tone color separation into a corresponding high resolution, bit-mapped, raster scanned halftone separation of an original artwork which utilizes a contone line buffer (913), an image handler (930), a screen handler (950), and a font memory (970). For every successive micro raster that is to occur in the screened image, the screen handler repetitively generates appropriate sampling coordinates, using predefined fast and slow scan incremental values, in order to sample any of the halftone reference patterns along successively positioned angled sampling lines (710, 730) that collectively form an angled grid so as to provide a bit-mapped halftone image pattern oriented at a desired screen angle. The font memory stores a different halftone dot pattern for each different contone value. Each contone value and simultaneously occurring sampling coordinates form addresses to the font memory for selecting a particular sampled reference halftone dot pattern while the sampling coordinates are used to access a particular bit within that pattern. The image handler and the screen hander operate essentially independently of each other for pipelined operation to increase throughput.

Abstract: An apparatus (200) is provided for controllably connecting and disconnecting a piezoelectric actuator (205) to and from an energy source (210) to effect the displacement of a piezoelectric actuator (205) for a fuel injector. Precise control of the timing and duration of the piezoelectric actuator (205) is necessary to ensure that a proper quantity of fuel is delivered to each cylinder of an internal combustion engine. A charging and discharging means (235, 240) monitors the voltage level of the piezoelectric actuator (205), and the charging and discharging current of the piezoelectric actuator (205). Further, a smoothing means (245) aids in levelling the charging and discharging current to better approximate a constant current to control the piezoelectric actuator (205) providing a precise quantity of fuel to be delivered.

Abstract: A vacuum cap for preventing baldness and revitalizing hair growth in case of hair fall comprises a cap made of an elastic material. The vacuum cap is turned upside down on the head (1). An adjustable band (1) is used to precisely adapt the vacuum cap on the head (4) of the wearer. Accessories shaped as a ring or an inflatable pipe (2) can be used alternatively for the same purpose. The physical principle by means of which hair growth is promoted is based on the fact that the application of a vacuum or of a negative pressure on the surface of the skin promotes blood circulation, so that the scalp is better irrigated. This has a very favourable effect on the hair roots and hair growth. Depending on the degree of elasticity of the material from which the vacuum cap is made, various means may be used to generate a negative pressure, from manual force to an electric vacuum pump.

Abstract: Heating devices which have a variable heat capacity and/or are subjected to a temporally varied heat dissipation, must be monitored for reasons of safety. A method for monitoring and limiting the operating temperature of physico-technical apparatuses is based on the fact that a heating device (1) is fed at least one test pulse, and that the effect thereof on the temperature variation of the apparatus is used with the aid of the operating characteristic to be monitored in order to supply more energy or to shut off the energy. This type of monitoring can be carried out periodically, without interruptions occurring in the operation. The method according to the invention is applied chiefly to monitor the filling level of a heat carrier in a heater; it is also capable of detecting impermissible dissipations of heat. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 2.1 For power-saving purposes, it is normal in cordless telephones for the transmitter-locating device which is contained in the mobile station to be operated only during specific transmitter locating periods, interrupted by fixed pauses. 2.2 In order to avoid the associated disadvantage of the rigid response time to a call arriving in the fixed station, a setting device (EV) for manual setting of the pause period (TP) is provided in a first embodiment of the mobile station (MS) according to the invention. In a second embodiment of a mobile station (MS'), the pause period (TP) is modified in the mobile station (MS') according to the charging state of the battery (AK) which is contained in the mobile station, in such a way that the pause period (TP) becomes longer when the battery charge decreases and becomes shorter when the battery charge increases. A detection and control device (DS) which has either a voltage detector (SPD) or a current detector (STD) serves to determine the respective charging state. 3.
